The GAZETTE is now tho oldest paper Il;

est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
ofpassing events, aud the careful chroni-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. II is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre ofnews it enjoys daily

patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpi;ed that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habtable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
aud near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.

ished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
nonwealth are TO he found in the columns

hi the CounciPs meeting on MondaY the

In the Councils meeting Oh Monday the
Government introduced two additional
money bills to the Budget for the present
financial year, both Of which have more
than usual interest for the general public.
The first proposes a grant of 5000 for
repairing the bridge over the waterc0urso
running south Of the estate Grange. The
18th paragraph of the Road ordinance pro-
vides that under extraordinary circumstan-
ces the expenses of repairs, usually met
by contributions assessed on the inhabI-
tants Of the "Quarter,n may be taken over
by the public; and the principal estate
owners in ~COmpany's Quarter had petition
ed the Government to apply the paragraph
in this case. The circumstances and the
Governments view of the matter are thus
described in the "Remarks."
"In November 1886, after the heavy fall OF
rain, the southern part of the wall on the
western side broke down, as the current
carried away the surrounding material,
partly because of the quality of the SOils
and partly owing to insufficient foundation.
In the course of the year 1886 the same
bridge-then broken down in q similar
way as nOw-had once already been
repaired, and the cost OF the repairs,
about 9425. 90, was then distributed among
the properties in the quarter III the same
proportion as the road allotmentS cOnSi-
dering this, and as the estate owners ia
the quarter rave had to defray another
heavy expense of about @33O.O 90 for repair
ing the wall along estates HermOn Hill
and C%Ontentment, Government is of opHni-
on that the circumstances are of such an
extraordinary nature as TO justify the
Public in assuming the repairs III accord
ance with s II, last clause, of the Road
Ordinance
The amount is based on an estimate
made by the Building Inspector, and,
having in view the fact that the bridge
was broken down last year shortly after
the Road Board had spent 1925 Oh it, the
"Government finds occasion to add that
the Road Commission has been instructed
to seek technical assistance in cases Of
greater repairs to bridges and ikepaSsages,
in order to secure the work to be done in
a fully SATISFACTORY manner and that an
amount will @ entered in the budget for
the coming fiscal year as u fixed yearly
remuneration to the Building Inspector for
giving such assistance"
In the course of the discussion which
took place on this money bill, Mr.. Svitzer
expressed the opinion that IA imported
iron bridge would last so much longer as
to be In the end cheaper than the present
woodan structure, which, though resting on
mason work, would rot, particularly at the
ends. The Governor objected, both on

PRISON SCANDALS.
They Continue to be Plentiful, but Dc
Not MaferiaIiza


The San Francisco papers continue to
speculate as to whether Warden Shirley
will be retired and Warden McComb trans
ferred to San Quentin. They state that
great many charges are afoat, the chief OF
which emanate from Michael Hogan. They
are chiefly that Aull failed to turn over
books kept BY him. had clothing made by
convicts for outside parties, and that the
laundry was used for Aull's friends; also,
that he was cruel, knocking down and
abusing prisoners, and made false entries of
moneys taken from prisoners II is also
charged against ex-Director Wilkins that
he received $3.50 for his interest in securing
the pardon of Sprague, and that a Young
man in Governor Stoneman's office was
disappointed in not receiving part of it
further, that he kept in debt and paid his
bills ty orders on his expense account
kept by the clerk OF the prison. An I'M
named party is said TO make charges of
acknowledgements against the entire Board
of Directors, and crookedpess concerning
the letting OF the contract for the new lutte
machinery.
Captain Aull, on his own account, denies
in toto all charges against him. The books
retained We're his private memoranda he
prisoners, and the clothes spoken of he
paid for. Prevention of opium-smugglipg
was not within his province, and be never
was cruel to prisoners. He resigned be-
cause he could not indorse Shirley's admin
lstration. He presents a letter from Mr..
Shirley, warmly indorsing him and the
administration of his office, and regretting
the loss of his valuable services. He
charges that Wilkins was paid $3.50 in the
Sprague pardon case.
Charles Montgomery, of the American
Exchange, who is said to have paid the
$3.50, says the charge is untrue; that he in
terested himself in the Sprague case, but
that it was to lawyers whom he consulted
that the sum was $125, and that Wilkins
had nothing to do with it.
AS stated yesterday in the RECORD UNIoY,
Mr.. Wilkins requested the Governor to
order an investigation into his conduct as
Director, and the Governor declined, be-
cause Mr.. wilkins is not now al officer OF
the State

In the city of Cleveland, Ohio, Henry
George, before some thousands of people,
asserted that all wage-winners are slaves.
This bit Of rhetorical glsh is not believed
by even Mr.. George. To denominate the
wage system as slavery is to insult the
millions of contented workers who sell
their skill for a reward, precisely as the
merchant sells his goods at profit, or the
producer the products Of the soil made
valuable by his labor. The slave does not
control his earnings nor decide what work
he is to follow, nor the beginning or end of
it. There are 100000 wage-winners en-
this continent whose lives and condition
give the lie to Mr.. Georges rounded sem
tence and dramatic utterance.

TWENTY members of the Freshmen class at
Wisconsin Stste University recently INDUCED
in the oid-tiTne rutiian custom of haZing n fel
low student. The police interfcred with The
ion,' however, and placed the young men
under arrest. They are now on trial for Assault
and il the college authorities or their parents do
not step in To prevent it they will be punished
Tor their brutality like common brawlers.
And why should the college authorities
interfere? and why should the young men
not suffer the punishment the law provides
for lawlessness? Collegians have no more
right to claim exemption from the conse-
quences of the crimes of battery and bru-
tally than other men. A wholesome ex-
ample made of hazers" at the bar of
public justice will do good, and teach
youths that they have no warrant for the
sowing of wild oats, and that if they put
in such crops they must reap the ineyita-
bic harvest.

As AN evidence of the growth of public
opinion in favor Of restriction upon the
immigration of the undesirable classes we
have the free utterance of most of the
pulpits of the day approving the spirit of
the sentiment. Here in California. on
Sunday last, was found one of the most
popular preachers of the metropolis de-
claring from the desk to his congregation
that the importation of Anarchists and
disturbers Of the peace of society is becom
ing so dangerous that the avenues of i'm
migration ought to be narrowed, and pres
emily be absolutely closed to the offensive
class. And that sentiment will assuredly
become the law of the land in due time
1t will eventually become the policy of the
nation-not to limit free speech, and never
to punish for opinions sake-but to refuse
admission to the national household TO
those whose declared purpose is to make
war upon our Institutions and pull down
the fabric of our home about our ears.

THERE is SO much being said and
charged and denied and conjectured con-
corning the State Prisons, their manage
ment by the Directors and officials in
charge, that it will not be surprising if an
investigation is ordered AT the same
time there is just that looseness and vague
ness in the charges made, that, coupled
with the fact that the persons concern
ing whom most is said are no longer
officials, it viii neither be surpris-
ing if no investigation is ordered.
Ex-Director wilkins has addressed the
Executive in request for an investisa-
ton, but the very sensible reply has been
made that Mr.Wiil1ins is not now y servant
of the State, and there could be no official
inquiry into the scandals connected with
his official term, That would result in
judgment Of any effect whatever.
But there have been inuendoes and
charges of indirect character sufficient,
If made with positiveness and directness, to
warrant thorough going inquiry. It is
promised by Captain Aull, according to
San Francisco contemporary, that some of
these charges will be formulated and made
clear and direct, presently, to
justify an investigation. But at present
there appears to be good deal more of
personal politics involved in the matter
than of State concern.

THE JUTE MILL AT THE PRISON

The Legislature under the advice of the
Directors of the State Prison provided
that $4,000 might be expended in erect
ing additional jute-bag machinery at San
Quentin. The one and only purpose Of
the Legislature was to employ the idle
hands in the prison, the present works
being insufficient for that purpose. Gov
ernor Bartlett approved the bill with re-
luctance. He entertained grave doubts as
to its wisdom, and was free to express HIM
self as doubtful of the business wisdom of
jute manufacture with prison labor at all.
Under the Act the necessary steps were
taken for securing and setting up the new
plant. But consultation being had by the
Directors with Governor Waterman, who
is authorized under the general law of
March, 1876, to pass with other officers
upon the plans, drawings and specifications
for all work upon State institutions, the
Governor suggested plan whereby the
purpose Of the Legislature could be carried
out without expanding the sum appropri-
ated. This plan has the merit of being
simple, practicable and business-like. In
stead of erecting additional works, the
Governor proposes to the Directors to
double the working forces in the iute mills
by putting two shifts of convicts instead of
one at work in the mills each working
the allotted time, but at different hours
This would throw one shift into work for
some hours at night, and employ just twice
the number Of convicts and double the
output of the mill without involving any
cost for new machinery. The only addi-
tional expense would be for lights and
few extra guards. The change in meal
hours for the night shift would simply put
more prisoners at work in the kitchen.
The railroad company having its rolling
mills in this city, to increase their CAPACITY
does not duplicate the shops, but puts on
two forces of workers, one going on as the
other comes off. In mines, as the Gov
ernor says, day and night shifts are the
custom, and 50, too, in nearly all great in
duStrieS where it is desirable to employ a
large force of men without charging the
machinery plant. 1t is understood that the
plan meets the approval of the Directors,
so far at least, that they will give it
trial. There is no perceptible reason why
1t will not work and accomrlich +ha o,,d
desired by the Legislature, and save to the
people of the State the outlay Of the large
sum necessary to duplicate the iute ma
chinery. Every dictate of economy APP
pears to justify the scheme, while it will
accomplish at the minimum of cost the
employment of twice the number of con-
victs, and for whom industry is essential to
reform and to effective discipline.
